Michaan’s fashion-conscious Dir. of Marketing, Talesa Eugenio: To me, this ring is a great take on an updated, modern cocktail look. It’s glamorous and makes a big statement, but the streamlined mounting and silhouette keep it fresh looking for 2015.

Michaan’s Jewelry Dept. Dir., Rhonda Harness: This ring is great because it carries with it an opulent look at a low price point. The aquamarine is rather large and the band is diamond encrusted, but the ring is estimated at a mere $800-1,200.
